''The curse of fratricide haunts Rome'' - Chapter 2 Romulus and Remus, having each built a kind of make-shift palisade -- sometimes referred to as a ''small wall'' -- were having an argument. Remus jumped the ''small wall'' belonging to Romulus, which sent him into a rage because ain't no-one jumping mah walls, bro. This is how the histories tell us Remus died, slain by his brother in a melee that followed this pity argument. This melee, by the way, involved the camp-followers of each of the two twin brother. It was not exactly man on man action, as much as a drunken brawl. This historical scene has influenced Roman history massively. Romans feared two things above all, politically and socially speaking: fratricide and kings. Imagine how these two could possibly coincide with one another. Yes, indeed: civil war. An interesting idea that I will dive into on a later episode, is that Roman history looks a lot like American history. That is, of course, American history follows closely a pattern that has been noticed when analysing Roman history and development. America and Rome both were rising powers, overthrew their kings, suffered from civil wars and consequently were led by tyrants. Oh, wait. Not tyrants, perhaps. Just... strong personalities? I will have probably unleashed a mighty discussion by the aforementioned comment. Experience the power of fratricidal comment-civil wars! Gaius Julius Caesar, the original Caesar as opposed to Caesar Augustus, and Pompeius Magnus -- Englishified to Pompey Magnus -- were brothers, in essence. In fact, they were family. Julia, the daughter of Caesar, married Pompey as a way to ensure their political alliance. Pompey, to the dismay of many a Roman nobleman, actually seemed to care about his wife Julia -- a feat quite rare amongst Romans. After the unfortunate death of Julia, the political alliance lay in ruins and gave way to a massive power struggle within the Roman Republic. Caesar versus Pompey. Many Romans considered this the final show-down of all things that haunted the Roman identity: fratricide, the fight between brothers, and civil war, the fight between civilians. The civil war, or ''bellum civile'' in Latin, was bloody, brutal and decisive. Join me next time, as we will dive into the First Roman Civil War.

less tyrants, more about a form of political clique. jakarta's political clique is especially notorious for being ultra-conservative, pro-muslim (which is against the national tenet of promoting equality among our diverse beliefs) , corrupt, filled with ex-mil people, and are probably slightly racist seeing the absolute lack of any known minority politician outside Ahok (which everyone with brains knows that he's been falsely accused of indonesia's very loosely defined form of "heresy", courtesy of FPI, our own local brand of muslim extremists)

[@bm8730]

Bas van de Ven Well that depends if you believe in mainstream history and science.. which is allot of bullshit.

[@eVeNmOrEiNsAnItY]

Factions collapse if they run out of characters - and I think spawned factions only have one character, only getting more if they live long enough.

[@johnnyd3387]

Thourley enjoyable thanks Lionheart. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@antoniodimaria2817]

If u kill the general of the spawned factions they disappear (i don’t know why)

[@patrikus1993]

It's because they only have one family member and therfore their faction dies as well

[@ajmiller7317]

So excited for this episode, haven't watched it yet. Saving it!

[@davisluong2060]

One thing I think that will help you during battles is not to focus to long on one part of the map. Build up your economy to build more armies. A navy wouldn’t be too bad now considering what the pirates did to you. It would prevent that from happening again.

[@mechanismprototype]

Davis Luong I strongly disagree, in Rome 2 in general navies are a luxury purchase only worth building when you have max armies. They are very expensive and offer very little in terms of offensive power and only slightly more in terms of defensive power. He also cant build a strong enough navy atm to even scrape a pirate navy

[@carlhassler5336]

Sikelians invaded Sicily!? (Incidentally Sikelia is just the old name pronounciation for Sicily)

[@thibolocrak]

Lionheart, do you consider doing a Rome II Let's play now that Divide Et Impera has massively improved ?! it would be awesome

[@lionheartx10]

once I finish some series sure!

[@damiank8838]

The boys have 3 names and the girls 2 names

[@matthewpaddon3895]

Camillus. The one guy who just refuses to die!

[@QuiGonJim89]

Hey Lionheart what's your plan for this series? Control of the Italian peninsula, or full Roman conquest and establishment of the Roman empire (what I'm hoping for)?

[@x4treme]

Chips ready! Let's GO!

[@ignazlangeslagvanasselen4940]

Love the series keep Going

[@aCANE305]

The Pirates were destroyed because you killed their general unit.

[@minecraftwithco6900]

okay

[@mf3026]

Was it the loss of the general that led the pirates to break up? They won't have a recruiting base, I imagine.

[@lestutosdeloulou5857]

One hour of pur gameplay!

[@francesorliedayap7732]

The Pirate Faction Destroyed because their leader is Dead during battle. :D but its just a conclusion :D thanks lionheart

[@SkyGuy4991]

Those pirates were probably destroyed because of either a bug or they were too far destroyed to replenish.

[@florinvasilezaharia7535]

The best Game!!!!

[@mattstevens723]

The pirates died because you killed the general so the army died with no settlement.

[@kieranantoine3468]

you were able to kill their general

[@areztempest4773]

Is Julius Caesar gonna be in this series?

[@matheusrondelleite8015]

Would you do with another let's play on the Rise of the Republic campaign?

[@lionheartx10]

yes

[@BalrogSonOfNelgar]

You killed the pirate queen, so they probably had no leadership for their whole faction and disbanded.

[@casawi1986]

Should i get rise of the republic or thrones of britannia ?

[@mechanismprototype]

casawi1986 difficult to say, thrones of Britannia offers a lot of fun and you can sink a lot of hours into it but it becomes dry after a while because of a lack of unit diversity. Republic is fun but it's pretty easy late game because the ai never builds elite units, it has slightly more unit diversity than thrones but not much more. Each faction plays very differently in republic which is its main strength. Imo thrones would be a better buy but it really depends mostly on which time period you're more interested in. If you don't already have rome 2 then by the gods buy that it's arguably the best TW game

[@thecrusaderhistorian9820]

You killed their faction leader

[@MarkoSRBa]

Johnny Depp Invasion!

[@korfits44]

Please play divide et imperia mod for rome 2 its made by Dresden and it changes the game a lot with a specific population in every town, supplies, battles, unit roster and the ai is better and can deal with the mod

[@estorcarnor3849]

That mode is the sort of depth true total war fans expect. It really is masterful

[@euanferguson3790]

That’s it lionheart ram them hard Why am I seeing more moral from there slingers than your swordsmen in some of these battles?

[@CommenteryWithJamz]

Big bummer... I bought Total War: Rome II - Rise of the Republic. I tried to install the game and it didnt work. I played a few hours of the normal game because i didnt want to sit and try to get it to work. But i found out that the game didnt work on mac so now im fucked haha :(

[@antoniodimaria2817]

FaZe Mo the mac also doesn’t support the online battles

[@dashbennett6199]

To help with your pronunciation in Latin, pronounce Cs like Ks, Vs like Ws and every letter is pronounced.
